Dakota Ruralist: The year Of our
Lord one thousand eight hundred and
eighty-seven bids fair to mark new
era in the history OF Dakota. The
territory is blessed by abundant crops;
it has not been visited by destructive
storms; no pestilence has been within
its borders; peace and plenty smile upon
it. Giving these things us true, with
her millions of acres of us fertile land
as the sun shines upon that can be had
for the taking or for a small sum, What
reason is there that immigration should
not set in towards us in numbers such
as have never before been dreamed OF.
Hundreds of thousands of persons who
are eking out II precarious living in less
favored localities, are looking with eyes
towards the flesh pots of Dakota with
a view to sharing of our abundance.
To all such the Ruralist would say,
come and partake. In this connection
we would say to you; come if you are
prepared to stay and labor with the
rest of us; come if YOU are willing to
work and wait, for the reward is sure;
come if you have capital to develop our
undeveloped resources; come if you
have IL strong arm and strong heart;
come if you want to breathe the
glorious ozone Of Dakota; come if you
want to gaze at the brighter than
Italian skies; come if you want to
dwell among people of education and
advancement; come ii you would better
your condition and leave the glorious
legacy of robust health and prosperity
to your posterity.

paratiyely. A statement prepared by
the treasury department shows that
during the month of August there was
IL decrease OF $737 $40 in the total cir
culation and an increase of Sl0,2l6,2OO
in the total cash in the treasury.
The civil service commission Is con-
sidering a plan for a more uniform
classification of the department. clerks
SO ;,s to include within the rules the
clerks of lower grade-for instance,
copyists at $500, who are not now EN-
braced. It's the commissioners de-
sire to remove the indiscrimination
now existing by which places in one
department are exempt from civil ser
vice rules while precisely similar posi-
tions in another department come un-
der the rules.
1t had been heralded forth by some
irresponsible enewspaper correspondents
that sweeping changes would take
place in the forces of the treasury and
interior departments on Sept. 1st, but,
as vet, these reports have not material
lied to any considerable extent, and
there have only been few unimport-
ant changes.
The city was honored last week by n
visit from an East Indian Prince-a
vassa1 of the British Queen-who was

general attention by his fine presence
and courtly bearing at reception ten

foreign ministers. Prince Thakore
was very much pleased with our people
and country, and declared that the one
thing necessary to complete his happi-
ness was the entree to the fashionable
society of our popular watering-places.

Timber Culture Proofs.
Bridgewater Times.

y circular has just been received ut
the Mitchell land Office, containing Il
number of new regulations concerning
timber culture proof. Among other
items it has these of special interest:
The offering of ACCOMPLISHMENTS for
sale after entry will be regarded and
treated us evidence tending to prove
the fraudulent or speculative character
Of the entry.
Final proof can be made at the eXpi-
ration of eight years from date of
entry, or at any time within five years
thereafter. In making final proof it
must be shown:
lst. That not less than twenty-seven
hundred (2.70W trees of the proper
character were planted on each acre re-
quired to be planted.
Cd. That the quantity and character
of trees as aforesaid have been cult
waited and protected for not less than
eight years preceding the time of max
ing proof.
3D.. That at the time of making
final proof there are growing at least
six hundred and seventy-fve t675) living
and thrifty trees to each acre.
In computing the period Of cultiva-
tion the time runs from the date when
the total number of trees, seeds. or cut
tings required by the act are planted.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent.
1NASuINGr0N Sept 3 ISS


WASHINGTON, SEPT. 5, 1887.
The simultaneous presence in this
city of such leading democrats as
Speaker Carlisle and Congressman Mills
at this dull season, has given rise to a
good deal of tariff talk. Color is given
to the report by the fact thai the speak
er and his wife are on a prolonged
visit to the president and Mrs. Cleve-
land at their country place. The sub
stance Of the tariff measure agreed on
by the administration is said to be Il
heavy reduction in custom duties. the
removal OF tobacco taxes, and non-in-
reference with the general internal
revenue system, as a compromise for
cutting the tariff rates on the necessar-
les of life. In this connection it is
somewhat significant that the bureau
of statistics has been called upon for
figures on custom duties. to show where
the most effective reductions can be
made and how the revenues Of the gov
ernment would be effected thereby.
An international commission, COM
posed of three Americans and three
Englishmen, the former to be chosen
by Secretary Bayard, will meet in
Washington ere long to discuss the
yeXatious Canadian fisheries dispute,
with the purpose of solving the troub-
lesome problem of the boundary line
between Canada and the United States.
over which there has been Il contro-
versy about one hundred years. If this
matter can be satisfactorily settled
from an American standpoint, it will
naturally be regarded rs a great diplo-
matte triumph for the present admins
tration. which the whole country would
regard With patriotic pride.
During August government receipts
/ were very heavy. aggregating $35,6l9,-
2l5. against SS2, 2,l95,326 for the same
month last year--fully two millions
more than in August, 1886. Internal
revenue and miscellaneous receipts
show a corresponding excess and the
disbursements large decrease COM

Democracy can not keep the wheat

A farmers and gardeners day is one
of the probabilities of the early days of

The fact that the first four days of
the exposition show gain of about
$500 in money over the first four days
